AI Thread Summary
Gravitational lensing of light from accretion discs around black holes, particularly in Kerr and Schwarzschild metrics, is a significant area of study. The lensing effect is notably strong near the minimum inner radius of the accretion disc. For distant observers, the appearance of the accretion disc can be complex due to this lensing. Resources such as Google Scholar and the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) are recommended for finding relevant academic papers. These platforms provide access to detailed mathematical analyses and articles that can aid in research projects on this topic.

Actually i want know about the lensing of light from accretion disc around a black hole(kerr and schwarschild). Is the lensing is strong for radie near minimum inner radius of accretion disc.
I want know how the accretion disc will look like for a distant observer.

Can somebody give me some papers or articles for the question especilly for the final part.
I am doing a project on it. actually i need more mathematical stuff

I suggest that you google it.

I'd avoid Google, since you are after the details, unless maybe you use Google scholar. The best approach would be to use http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html" astrophysics journal article search engine. Almost all the hits you get will have a link to the free ArXiv version of the papers, so you don't have to have journal subscriptions to view them.

I put in 'kerr lensing disk' and got a bunch of papers that looked they might be relevant for you.

Hope that helps!

thank you, thank you very much.
 
Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.
